Mindful Muslim Review

This highly informative, beautifully illustrated series of picture books teaches children that to know Allah ﷻ, is to know Him through His creations. This book invites children to reflect upon the intricacies and the interdependencies found in a seemingly lifeless snowy landscape. The Author’s Note and the animal descriptions found at the end of the book richly enhance the content and allow for continuous learning as children grow.
